Summary of this case from Grant v. U.S. Dep't of JusticeOpinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:18cv291

WILLIAM LEE GRANT, II v. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, which contains her findings, conclusions, and recommendation for the disposition of the complaint has been presented for consideration. The Report and Recommendation (Docket No. 4), filed on June 25, 2018, recommends that Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis be denied and that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice as barred by the doctrine of res judicata and as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Docket No. 4. Plaintiff filed written objections on July 3, 2018. Docket No. 6.
In his written objections, Plaintiff does not present any facts to dispute the finding that the complaint is barred by res judicata. Similarly, Plaintiff does not dispute that, pursuant to an order entered in the Northern District of Texas in William Lee Grant, II v. United States Department of Defense, Civil Action No. 4:18-cv-471, he is prohibited from proceeding in forma pauperis until he pays a sanction of $100. Plaintiff filed this lawsuit seeking to proceed in forma pauperis even though he has not paid the sanction.
Having made a de novo review of the written objections filed by Plaintiff in response to the Report and Recommendation, the Court concludes that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct and the objections are without merit. It is therefore
ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Docket No. 2) is DENIED. It is further
ORDERED that the complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as barred by the doctrine of res judicata and as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
Any motion not previously ruled on is DENIED.
SIGNED this 7th day of August, 2018.
